Galgos del Sol NEVER EVER STOP!
31 January 2014 @ 12:58

February 1 marks the end of hunting season when many Galgos meet a fate worse than the life of cruelty that they have already endured. Read about this here .. http://diadelgalgo.com

Galgos del Sol currently have around 100 Galgos, including puppies, in their care. Galgos are being found abandoned on an almost daily basis.

With so many sick & injured galgos in lately that need numerous trips to the vets and medical care GdS need help with this more than ever. It's very difficult to keep up with what Tina & her partner, Kyle, plus dedicated volunteers, are doing as they're so incredible busy. You only have to visit their Facebook page to see this!

There are various ways you can help support this fantastic charity, GdS.

You can donate ..not from your own purse too .. by ordering anything you might need for yourself through Easyfundraising who donate a % of what you pay a store including Amazon, Tesco, M&S, Vodafone, John Lewis, Next etc that you'd buy from to your chosen cause .. http://www.easyfundraising.org.uk/causes/galgosdelsol so when you need a washing machine or furniture or even much smaller purchases please use Easyfundraising & support GdS in this way.

GdS are also going to schools holding classes teaching youngsters about the Galgos. This is going to be on a weekly basis in the Murcia area.

GdS have two charity shops too. They always need goods (especially furniture) to sell in these.

They will accept anything - clothes, toys, furniture, books, DVDs, electricals, anything that is of decent quality to re-sell to help the Galgos at GDS and also other abandoned dogs. 50% of all profits will be donated to Los Unicos, a dog charity that helps all breeds.

One shop is in Los Alcazares in the Oasis urbanization near the English butchers and the Arches cafe. Coming on the AP7 from the Torrevieja area, it's the turn off before the airport one, Alcarzares Norte, up slip road to big roundabout in front of the Arches, the row of shops are facing you.

Please call into the shop if you're local & offer help or give us items we can sell to help the Galgos.

Galgos del Sol is dedicated to every galgo espanol; those who made it and sadly those who didn't.
Galgos del Sol is a small rescue based in Murcia, Spain that rescues abandoned and injured galgos (Spanish hunting greyhounds), rehabilitates them and finds them forever homes in the UK and other parts of Europe. Thousands of galgos are abandoned or killed annually at the end of each short hunting season and as they are not always viewed as potential pets in Spain, they usually end up in perreras (pounds), where their lives are ended, often not in ways we would consider humane. Galgos del Sol is entirely dependent on fundraising for its survival and is run by two dedicated women, Tina and Gaynor, assisted by a group of dedicated volunteers based in Spain, France and in the UK.
Galgos del Sol es una pequeña protectora con sede en Murcia, España, que rescata galgos abandonados y heridos (galgos españoles de caza) y los rehabilita y les encuentra hogares para siempre en el Reino Unido y otras partes de Europa. Miles de galgos son abandonados o asesinados cada año al final de cada temporada de caza y como en España normalmente no los consideran mascotas por lo general terminan en perreras, donde acaban con su vida y a menudo en formas que no consideraríamos muy humanas. Galgos del Sol depende totalmente de donaciones para su supervivencia y está gestionado por dos mujeres muy involucradas, Tina y Gaynor, con la asistencia de un grupo de voluntarios con sede en España, Francia y en el Reino Unido.
